Opis: Human Scent Evidence - Allison Curran, Kenneth Furton, Paola Prada

During the last decade, a significant number of scientific studies have supported the use of human scent as a biometric tool and indicator of the presence, or absence, of an individual at a crime scene. These findings even extend to conducting scent identification line-ups with suspects. Human Scent Evidence focuses on some of these recent advances in the use of human scent as forensic evidence and as an identifier. Topics include: Various theories of human odor production The variability, stability, and persistence of human scent Historical aspects of the use of human scent in police work in the United States and internationally Current trends in scent collection techniques, including devices, materials, and storage protocols Chemical aspects of the evaluation of human scent, including instrumental methods for odor detection and analysis The legal significance of human scent evidence results Canine scent work from multiple search categories as described in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG) Human scent evidence may be of critical use in many cases where other types of evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, or fibers are not readily available. As such, it can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations. With examples from North and South America and Europe, this book draws upon an extensive literature review of past and current research and is enhanced with findings from the authors' own research. It concludes with a glimpse of the future direction of human scent evidence in the forensic field and its application as a biometric and diagnostic tool.Introduction and Historical Perspectives Principle of Human Scent as Trace Evidence Human Scent Discriminating Canines: The Line-Up History Human Scent as a Forensic Tool: A Brief Historical Overview in Different Countries Human Scent Evidence in the Courtroom Production of Human Scent Genetic Origin Human Skin Skin Microbiota Human Axillary Odor Chemical Composition of Human Scent: A Volatile Perspective The Quest for Nonaxillary Skin Volatiles At the Forefront of a Lab-Based Scent Discrimination Method Variability of Human Scent Scent Transfer Factors Influencing Human Scent Patterns of Scent Distribution Collection of Human Scent as Forensic Evidence Methods of Scent Collection Laboratory Studies: Collection Materials Police Work in Collecting Crime Scene Articles Field Work in Scented Articles/Trailing Field Work in Scent Line-Ups Persistence and Stability of Human Scent Scent Durability in the Field Laboratory Perspectives on Scent Stability Human Scent Canines Article Search Avalanche Search Prescented Canines-Location Check Nonspecific Human Scent Wilderness Area Search (Air Scent) Prescented Canine-Aged Trail Search Scent Identification Line-Ups Searching for Live People in Disaster Environments Tracking/Trailing People Based on Last Known Position Human Remains Detection Future Biometric and Diagnostic Applications Scent as a Biomarker of Disease Biometric Potential Concluding Remarks Appendix A: Argentina Human Scent Evidence Standard Operating Procedures Appendix B: Finnish Regulations for Scent Identification Appendix C: SWGDOG SC2-General Guidelines Appendix D: SWGDOG SC8- Substance Detector Dogs Appendix E: SWGDOG SC9- Human Scent Dogs Index
